    Summary:

    Jem is a self-described butch dyke from Montreal who always imagined spending her life in bars and having multiple flings. When she meets Freda, a woman who exposes Jem's vulnerabilities, her preconceived notions of who she is become moot as she finds herself partnered in a long-term relationship with kids. Which she surprisingly loves-most of the time. But that's all changing as Jem and Freda's marriage shifts from one of love and lust to one of gripes and grumbles. Freda & Jem's Best of the Week is a love story that explores the struggle for identity as a couple reconciles a new way of loving one another while accepting their new familial reality.&nbsp&nbspFreda & Jem's Best of the Week is a love story that explores the struggle for identity as a couple reconciles a new way of loving one another while accepting their new familial reality.&nbsp&nbsp'This play is a dramatic poem, which theatrically documents major social change in the 21st century-the re-invention of family, the seismic shifts happening in our perception of gender... a brave and groundbreaking play.''A delightful creation that shatters stereotypes... this unusually usual family, is universal and will appeal to all.'
